More generally,to promote durable solutions for displaced people in linewith overall 2012 HWP strategic priorities, the sector’s focusis shifting towards the promotion of transitional shelters andcommunity capacity building. This approach entails encouragingthe use of locally available shelter materials and alternativebuilding techniques. A shelter strategy is being developedin coordination with sector partners, under the guidance of aShelter Expert deployed by UNHCR.Achievements as of 15 May 2012The sector provided NFI and ES items to 30,355 households,mostly from the NFI common pipeline. On-going rainy seasonreplenishments to long-term IDPs have been focused on themost vulnerable and have served 26,545 households, or 33%,of the planned target of 80,000 households.The sector responded rapidly to new displacements arisingdue to inter-tribal conflict in North Darfur, serving a total of1,164 verified households in Zamzam camp. Verification exercisesare ongoing in South Darfur to respond to new displacementsas a result of clashes between the SAF and armedopposition movements.Additionally, the sector served 2,000 returnee householdsand 646 disaster-affected households in Darfur, as well as 139households in North Kordofan. The sector also supported theconstruction of 2,371 environmentally friendly shelters. Anoperational response plan based on sector partners’ field levelcapacity is being drafted for South Kordofan and Blue Nile.Implementation challengesAlthough rapid response to new displacements remains apriority for the common pipeline, verification delays, as in thecase of the reported displacements in South Darfur in April/May, often result in delays in service provision to verifiedhouseholds.Funding is also a challenge. Many partners providing environmentallyfriendly transitional shelters in their programmesrecommended for CHF funds were unable to begin their projectsin the first quarter as funds were disbursed in April 2012.Sector partners are awaiting the outcome of an application forshelter activities as part of an Office of U.S. Foreign DisasterAssistance (OFDA) grant for early recovery activities in WestDarfur.The sector is also increasing the provision of environmentallyfriendly transitional shelters while at the same time decreasingreplenishments. Some 16,000 households are targetedin 2012, while replenishments will be reduced from 95,000 to70,000 households.Changes in TargetsNo changes in targets.Sector Project RevalidationThe sector reviewed current projects for gaps in coverage andduplication.Coverage of Needs by Actors not in the Sectoror CAPNone reported.
